A service level agreement that defines a level of financial management desired by a user is provided. A user is prompted to input financial information relative to the user. The financial information is stored in a database. A prospective cash flow of the user is aggregated over a predetermined amount of time based on the service level agreement and the financial information. The prospective cash flow is then output to the user. As an option, the user may be allowed to re-input the financial information if the prospective cash flow is deemed unacceptable by the user. A risk analysis may be executed if the prospective cash flow is deemed acceptable by the user. Further, advice based on the financial information may be output if the prospective cash flow is deemed acceptable to the user.

Financial planning and counseling system projecting user cash flow

The system further calculates Value At Risk (VAR) values for the user. The system filters various securities based on their VAR and Beta values and present two list of filtered securities, with opposing Beta values, matching the user profile. The present invention enables the user to swap securities in and out of his existing portfolio and receive an analysis of the effect of the swap on his portfolio. The model also generates an ideal portfolio based on the user profile. The present invention presents the user with an estimated value of his portfolio, based on a regression formula as well as a possible best and worst scenario based on statistical formulas particularly to computer implemented, Internet based financial modeling systems.
